Undergraduate Studies

Undergraduate Program in Molecular Biology

Undergraduates in the Department of Molecular Biology are actively engaged in cutting–edge research in a fast-paced and innovative area of modern science.

Princeton University provides a unique learning experience, in which every undergraduate student completes a Senior Thesis as the culmination of their educational career. Often recalled by alumni as their single most profound and meaningful experience at Princeton, the Senior Thesis allows students to combine and apply 4 years of scholarship into an original research effort. In the Department of Molecular Biology, the Senior Thesis is a remarkable opportunity for students to work in the laboratories of world famous scientists, conducting experimental research at the frontiers of modern science.
